18. Trump represents his demographic well.
Sat Sep 30, 2017, 08:11 AM

There was a time when there was enough intelligence in their ranks to keep such individuals to backroom power maneuvering because they knew it would fall flat if their beliefs became public. But, the MAGA group is all about letting it all hang out these days. They love how he talks.

History will remember this era in the same way that it talks about the McCarthy era.
